Today my Q and A was posted in the continuing series of new blogger profiles here at Sci Am. Go check it out!
As well, I was captured on film (although my last name was not quite captured in writing) in this story about mushroom hunting in Colorado in the New York Times. I'm the one in the hat holding the basket in the photo at top, and then you can see a nice photo of me holding up a mushroom like a diamond merchant at lower left. Oh, NYT, would it have killed you to check the spelling of my last name? I sent a correction but it must have been misfiled.

Though I wasn't interviewed for the story, I thought they did a pretty good job. I did, however, note that the journalist showed up in running shorts and tennies on the day we forayed at 10,000 or so feet in the Colorado backcountry. Definitely a New Yorker. : )
It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
